Napier Names Roberts New Defensive Coordinator

Hahahahaha that’s a killer staff you guys got there.
Y’all really thought Baker would ruin his career by going there.
Pleassssssssssse, absolutely no way
Scott was smart to get out of there, that speaks volumes of your program lol.

So using your logic, Jabbar Juluke was smart to get out of LTURD because he saw how it was going to ruin his career by staying there. I guess that speaks volumes of your program.

So, is this the same Baker that people were trashing when it came out that he was being considered?

Re: 2017 Coaching Carousel
Hopefully he goes. We can do so much better. I'm guessing Skip doesn't try & counter. Would be an easy way for Skip to upgrade w/o firing him. I predict if he goes & we don't screw up the hire that we will be better on defense next year.

It can't be the same person, can't it? LOL.

I had no idea who any of techs assistants were until there was talk of us hiring one.... because I didn't go there and unless we are playing them never give them a second thought. Anybody who takes time out of their day to come to our board to talk ____ about assistant coaches is a special kind of loser.

He brought him in as defensive assistant ..When lucus took over as DC he had the greatest linebacker core UL has ever seen which hid a lot of his coaching inabilities that .. when they left his true abilities were shown

No the greatest LBs we ever had ranged from the Simms, Etienne, Fontnett, Alaexander and Poole days.

Jesus dude, calm down. Could you not tell that my comment was dripping with sarcasm?

No, not really

Starting with Steve Spinella in the early 1980's was our 1st Division 1a All American.....Theron Harrison, Rudy Pennimon, William Sims, Clifford Champ, Dwayne Fontenette, Patrice Alexander, Charles Poole.....a couple of Linebackers who weren't as athletic but were fine players were Randy Guidry in the late 1980's and in the 1990's Pat Brennan.......I would definitely put Otha Peters and Lightfoot in that group....in my opinion the best "group" were in 1990 when we ran double eagle....outside backers Clifford Champ and Dwayne Fontenette....Inside backers William Sims and Rudy Pennimon...shame that Sims played hurt all year, Rudy tore his ACL and Clifford broke his arm....all 4 signed pro contracts..

Simms was a beast! My only hesitation with putting Lightfoot in that group is he only had 1 year that he was really outstanding.
I also put Zanders amongst our top LBs. was an outstanding special teams player as well

Otha is not only the best linebacker we ever had he is a top 10 player in school history then add


T. J. Posey / Trey Granier/ Tre’maine Lightfoot.. best crew for now

Apparently you never saw William Sims, Patrice Alexander and Frank Bartley play.

The first 2 played on Sundays and the 3rd only has the most tackles in school history.

can't argue with that!!! ANd all were lowly 2 star, "lower level" recruits

It is hard to compare eras, but I think the guys playing LB in the late 80’s, early 90’s were better. I do think Peters was as good as the older guys. My favorite was Sims. He made a few plays during his career that were jaw dropping.

I don’t know about the other two, but Sims was a big time recruit for us.
